Getting started
Lineagram turns your family tree into a clean, printable chart. The editor is free, runs in your browser, and needs no sign-up.
Five steps
1. Open the editor
Click “Open the free editor”. Your tree is stored in your browser and is not uploaded.
2. Bring in your tree
Import a GEDCOM (.ged) file exported from MyHeritage, Ancestry, FamilySearch or similar, or start a new tree and add people by hand.
3. Choose the main person
Select a person and set them as the main person. Relationship labels are shown from their point of view.
4. Edit details
Click anyone to edit names, dates, places and relationships in the side panel. Exact or estimated dates are both supported.
5. Export and print
Export a PDF at the paper size you need, from A4 up to large-format posters. Free exports carry a small “Made with Lineagram” footer; see the plans for clean exports.
